Chapter 1907: Butterfly Wings (Part 1)
Many things in the world are related to each other. An inconspicuous thing will lead to another irrelevant life. Buddhism says this is called cause and effect, while Zhao Zhen says this is called the butterfly effect.
The rule is like two stars in the sky. If these two huge objects collide, the small stars around them will suffer a catastrophe.
The conflict between the Song Dynasty and Seljuk is undoubtedly two huge "stars" that caused countless small countries around to suffer. Even the larger existence was inevitably involved in this war.
The Polo Dynasty, the Indian dynasty, which was once a Song Dynasty due to its interests, is now heading for destruction. Compared with other forces, the dynasty that can unify the Indian Peninsula is not weak.
The power that once suppressed Sinhala was unable to raise his head and could only rely on the Song Dynasty to continue to exist was not enough in front of the huge Song Dynasty.
The main reason why Zhao Zhen dared to fight on two-line fronts was that he was fearless of the means of the Polo Dynasty. The size of the Song Dynasty was put here and the Polo Dynasty had no choice. Now the Song Dynasty’s policy on the West Road in Yunnan is very simple.
Based on the Western Ding and the naturalized two cities, the attack on the Indian army was launched. The prelude to this war has been opened and there is no reason to stop.
Although the Song Dynasty fought in two directions, it had priorities. Compared with the wars in the north against the Seljuk Empire, the war between the Song Dynasty and India was relatively weak.
It is enough for generals Shi Yuansun to be in charge there, and Wu Wanquan's Tengchong army is also quite adept. Zhao Zhen's principle of selecting generals and army is suitable. Tengchong army is suitable for using troops against Tianzhu, which is the most critical point.
The rise of the Polo dynasty is inseparable from the "help" of the Song Dynasty. The reason why it was possible to agree that the Indian Peninsula relied entirely on the trade of the Song Dynasty. Now the war between the Song Dynasty and Seljuk made the dynasties on this peninsula destruction.
In the Shendu City, although Zhao Zhen could not see the army, he could see their movements. The military situation was almost done every two days, and it was summarized to the Shendu City of the Song Dynasty through the powerful transmission system of the Song Dynasty, and it was also summarized on the huge map sand table in front of Zhao Zhen.
The rear yamen of the General Staff and Military Affairs Office is as large as four schools. Countless minor officials are constantly busy on the sand table, summarizing the latest news on it, how many miles Shi Yuansun's army has moved, what kind of results he has obtained, etc.
Zhao Zhen stood on the steps, looking at the Polo Dynasty in front of him, sighed slightly. This once glorious dynasty had just begun to prosper. It was constantly attacked by the Song Dynasty before it concentrated its power. It was now a bit fragmented.
The decline of this dynasty was actually planned by Zhao Zhen. The reason is very simple, and it is necessary to cover the Song Dynasty's attack on Seljuk.
Zhao Zhen had never intended to strike a devastating blow to Tianzhu. After all, even if Tianzhu was taken down, it would not be of great benefit. The land there was too far from the Song Dynasty and had already exceeded the control of the Song Dynasty.
At present, it is best to push the power to Yunnan West Road at most, which is already the location of Bangladesh in later generations.
The Song Dynasty's conquest of Tianzhu and Pengjialuo had already achieved unexpected gains. The King of Bagan had personally come to the Song Dynasty to surrender to the Song Dynasty, bringing the most beautiful women and the most luxurious tribute.
His attitude was afraid of not being humble and his tribute was not luxurious. Zhao Zhen naturally received him with strong etiquette and gave him a lot of rewards.
Everything created the illusion that the Song Dynasty was the goal of India. Not to mention the Seljuks, even the Song Dynasty’s own people were deceived.
The great thing about Zhao Zhen’s move is that he is a fake. The authenticity of a thing needs to be proved through facts. The attack on the Indians by the Song Dynasty is a fact, otherwise Pengjialuo’s land would not have become the West Road of Yunnan in the Song Dynasty.
The phenomenon caused by this fact also made everyone believe that the goal of the Song Dynasty was only India, so Seljuk's defense was almost reduced to a minimum.
As a result, the use of troops against Tianzhu during the Song Dynasty was in full swing, and the attack of the Song Dynasty never stopped. At this time, Zhao Zhen launched a war against Seljuk without hesitation.
There is a cause and effect. Because of the arrogance of Heavenly Zhu at that time, the Song Dynasty had a reasonable reason to send troops. This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen did not send troops as soon as possible, but waited for a while before sending troops.
"The wind caused by a small butterfly flapping its wings may cause a hurricane to blew on the land thousands of miles away!"
Sancai didn't understand for a moment and asked in confusion: "What is the official saying? I didn't understand..."
Zhao Zhen did not explain, but smiled and said, "It's right that I didn't understand! Do you want to understand every word I said?"
Sancai shivered: "I don't dare!"
No one knows that Zhao Zhen had already planned to attack Seljuk. This Western green green has an admirable impulse to war, and the religious fanaticism has made them use war to change every land.
It was not only Seljuk, but also the Holy Roman Empire, which believed in Catholicism. They all regarded religious expansion as the driving force for national development, which made Zhao Zhen very disgusted.
If he had the ability, Zhao Zhen even hoped to command a powerful army to carry out an unprecedented expedition, which would make all civilizations in the world tremble with the empires in the east.
The strongest force intimidated the entire world, allowing the Song Dynasty to gain a hundred or even hundreds of years of stability.
But Ye An didn't think this could be achieved. The most important thing is to defeat the Seljuks first. Protecting the vital interests of the Song Dynasty and protecting the Silk Road is the best strategy.
Zhao Zhen’s plan was very simple, let the Song army sweep the land of Tianzhu from beginning to end like an iron plow, and let the land fall into disputes again. From then on, the Song Dynasty will maintain the balance of this land, the rise of any tribe will be suppressed, and the caste system will continue again.
The chaos was caused by the Song Dynasty and would be maintained by the Song Dynasty. This is the peninsula that best matches the interests of the Song Dynasty.
As for the Seljuk in the north, the powerful Song army would allow Tugluk and all the Seljuks to see what real power is. If there was a chance, Zhao Zhen would even be willing to let the vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire see it.
Huatshuozimohai has been occupied by the Song army, and most of Huatshuozimo's land was captured by the Song army. During this period, Zhao Zhen has received good news and the Song army's operation route and purpose are quite clear.
Shi Yuansun's advance in Tianzhu was also very stable. The 500,000 troops of Boluo did not conquer any of the cities of the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, Shi Yuansun not only defended Xiding City and Guihua City, but also began to organize effective counterattacks.
